Hi, I am Cédric from Belgium. 1 year ago I decided to take a break from my degree in psychology, leaving everything behind. With a strong aspiration to study Buddhism (Dharma and meditation) I left to India. For the past 9 months I have been in India, studying and practicing in many different traditions. I see my travel as a journey to being authentic with life. No matter which culture or environment. I love to completely immerse myself in the culture, wherever I go. Different cultures, habits, food,... I don't see myself as a 'Belgian', I have many characteristics and habits from very different places and cultures over the world. I hope to meet people as they are, I believe we are all on the same path, however different we may seem. That is why I study Buddhism, not as a religion but as a way of understanding and living life truly and authentically. Apart from all that, I also love to do crazy things and go on adventures, especially in nature, I also travel with a tent and a hammock.
